Foundation: 1979
Mission: The National Institute of Chemical Physics and Biophysics (NICPB) is a research institution under public law where the main task of the scientists is research that values academic freedom. The NICPB carries out fundamental and applied research and engages in the development of the novel directions in material sciences, gene technology and biotechnology, environmental technology and informatics. The NICPB helps to educate new generations of scientists pursuant to association and other contracts with universities and other academic institutions. The NICPB participates in national and international research and development through national, European and international programmes and agreements and application for research and development grants. The NICPB introduces its work regularly in other research and degree-granting institutions, in specialised literature, scientific conferences and public media.
Vision: NICPB is an integrated and effective scientific institution, where all employees recognise their responsibilities and possibilities in achieving the goals of the Institute. NICPB`s reputation is based on high-level research, initiation of innovative topics and development of competence and scientific infrastructure at national and also international level. The PhD work, carried out at the Institute, provides adequate qualification for performing as a principal investigator.
The following data gives a quick reading on the scientific performance in the last years. The research ranking refers to the volume, impact and quality of the institution's research output. The innovation ranking is calculated on the number of patent applications of the institution and the citations that its research output receives from patents. Finally, the societal ranking is based on the number of pages of the institution's website and the number of backlinks and mentions from social networks.
The result of the evaluation of the institution can be compared to obtain a view of the country, the region to which it belongs and the institutions of the world, placing it in their respective positions.
We have divided the scientific output of the institution into 19 large areas of knowledge and the following table shows only the ranks in different territorial domains achieved by the institution in each of the areas. For an institution to have a presence in an area, it is necessary that it exceed in the last year a minimum output threshold equivalent to twice the percentage that this area represents in the world. If you need scientific indicators on these areas visit Scopus and/or SciVal.
| Area | World | Eastern Europe | EU-27 | OECD | Estonia |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chemistry | 2658th | 99th | 847th | 1709th | 2nd |
| Physics and Astronomy | 1512th | 37th | 481st | 1036th | 1st |
These are the journals used by the institution's researchers to publish their work in the last year. The size of each circle represents the value of the SJR of the publication, and its spatial position represents its subject matter.
This visualizatión allows you to identify the knowledge areas where the institution has published, recognize the prestige of the scientific journals in which the institution knowledge has been published, and identify predominant scientific communities.
